These assignments can be annoying, so I would recommend boosting them with someone else. You can boost all of these except for the wins quite simply with only one other person, by searching for Conquest Large, 10+ players needed, and then looking for a server that has only 4-5 people in it. If you find a server where they are hunting for Dog tags, even better, as they won't be trying to kill you and you shouldn't bother them.

For pickup locations for the map specific weapons/vehicles, I used Conquest. Capture the Flag and other game modes I've discovered have many other spawn locations.

1. Disinformation:Affect 10 enemies with M84 FlashbangsGet 3 melee killsM84 Flashbangs--will be selectable once you have installed the DLC (and have gained at least 2500 XP with grenades! Thanks CrAzEdCaNuCk18), just don't forget to select them for your loadout. You need to make sure the 'victim' is actually looking at the flashbangs however, as they don't appear to count if they don't explode on the other persons screen. They might count if you do it to the same person multiple times in one life, unverified, but I think I was able to do it this way.Melee kills--well, you know what to do.. but in case you didn't, snipers are terrific targets, and always approach from behind, as you can be countered if you knife from in front. A fun note, you can't counter a melee if you're lying down, so people lying down are fair game from all directions!

2. Eye Spy:Get 2 Spotting RibbonsGet 20 DMR or Carbine killsSpotting Ribbons--take 6 spots to get, and only count for the match you are currently playing. If you have the MAV from the Recon class you can get this extremely fast, even the TUGS will work well. I personally just kept spotting people while playing the game, and got them in one game easily.DMR/Carbine kills--I found best done on Hardcore.. personal preference, and you might prefer Carbines, but Hardcore makes it easier to get kills.

3. XD-1 Deathbringer:Get 30 kills with the XD-1 AccipiterTravel 3 km in the XD-1 AccipiterI highly recommend boosting this one, or if you're not boosting, DO IT ON HARDCORE. The XD-1 is so extremely weak, and everyone likes to shoot it down right away now. A little tip for the 3km distance assignment, if you go up or down while moving, you travel 33% faster than otherwise.Hammerhead: an XD-1 spawns in the center hill on the B flag if it's Conquest Large. (XD-1 testing facility) And, another XD-1 spawns on the west side of the map in the single story building at objective D(Conquest Large).Hanger 21: has one XD-1 spawn, top floor of the Hanger, about 100 feet in from the edge.Giants of Karelia: has at least one XD spawn that I know of--at the A flag, on the ground near the static vehicles. If it's Conquest small, then the XD spawns on the empty helicopter landing pad on top of the hill near the dome that can be blown up and collapsed. I think it's almost above the C or D flag.Operation Whiteout: spawns an XD-1 near the center flag. Right near the solar panels there is a small building, and next to that building is the XD-1 spawn. (Thanks vJazza94v !)

4. Snowmobile Slayer:Get 10 road kills with the snowmobileGet 5 minutes of air time in the snowmobileBoost the road kills!! They are an absolute pain to get legitimately. For the 5 minutes air time, you can do this anywhere, jumps happen all the time with the snowmobile. What I personally did was find an almost empty tag hunting server, with one friend, happened to be Hanger 21, then we raced across the map until we both got it. Was really fun, and we discovered how to get snowmobiles to the top floor on the hanger in about 20 seconds! (And one hilarious moment where a random helped us stuff 3 snowmobiles in an elevator.. then blew them all up, us, and himself with a Deagle. )

5. Hover Tank Harbinger:Destroy 15 vehicles with the HT-95 LevkovSpend 10 minutes in the HT-95 LevkovExtremely easy to boost--equipment counts as vehicle kills, and snowmobiles are the easiest vehicle to kill. Have one person spawn as Recon with two equipment, and you can either keep respawning at the spawn beacon, and have the Levkov shoot the other equipment; or you can simply drop both equipment, jump on a snowmobile, and have the Levkov drive over you all, then respawn at the closest flag. Alternatively, jump on the snowmobile, drive it at the Levkov, jump off just before you go under, and it will self-destruct under the Levkov. As long as vehicles are destroyed about 5 seconds after you were on/in them, it counts as a vehicle kill. Make sure to shoot the destroyed snowmobile with the Levkov to blow up the wreckage--another snowmobile will spawn in about 1-2 seconds after the wreckage is destroyed and you can repeat.Hammerhead: Levkov spawns are at D, or the most NW flag and at A or the most eastern flag on the same map.Operation Whiteout: the Levkov spawns in the bunker at B flag.

6. Railgun Rampage:Destroy 10 vehicles with the Rorsch Mk-1Get 25 kills with the Rorsch Mk-1Easiest is boosting this--the Rorsch doesn't do enough damage to vehicles generally to do much. You can either shoot snowmobiles generally twice, or much better, boost this with a Recon class, and do a double shot on both equipment. That way you only need one Rorsch to finish the equipment assignment. Rorsch kills are really easy to get legitimately if you're any good at sniping. Hardcore recommended though so enemies won't know where you are.Tips from xMidget Furyx: When using the Rorsch Mk-1 when going for vehicle kills choppers are weak, tanks take almost all the ammo you have to blow them up. So look for tanks that are getting shot at. Operation Whiteout--there is a Rosch spawn on both sides. The side with the big round ball shaped building, the Rorsch spawns near the frozen water, at a little camp of three orange tent buildings. It's in front of the single tent on the water side. For the other spawn side of the map, the Rorsch spawns just down the hill from the A flag, towards the closest spawn. There's some random items scattered on the snow there, and it's in the middle of them.Hammerhead--there are two Rorsch spawns that I know. One Rorsch spawns between Flag F and D on Large Conquest, or between the old fishing boats and D flag in small Conquest. It's on a little hill near the water with two crates next to it. The other spawn is on the main road near the East spawn, near the end of the elevated roadway.Hanger 21--two Rorsch spawns. One is on the tower with the giant radar dish, at the 2nd top level. The other Rorsch spawn is near the E flag on Conquest Large, on a hill between E and C flags.Giants of Karelia I know of only one Rorsch spawn. Conquest small, it's near the D flag, right next to the river on the cliff side going towards C or A flags. On Conquest Large, it spawns on top of the hill, right next to the little cube shaped building.

7. Mechanized Mayhem:Get 25 kills with the Schipunov 42Spend 5 minutes in the air with the Launch PodI recommend boosting, otherwise the best Schipunov for getting legitimate kills that I've found are on the Operation Whiteout map. At Objective C and B are Schipunov's you can use that control a wide area of approach.xMidget Furyx says Hammerhead: "To get the kills with Schipunov 42 a little quicker play Hammerhead and there is one at either end of the tunnel at flag B and C. You risk getting shot in the back but most players don't look before running out from B or C." Otherwise, boosting these is simple.Launch Pod--they are only found on Hanger 21, and on Conquest large they are found above E flag, and also just outside the Hanger, one floor below the main hanger out front. Easiest is to just point it straight up, and stay in the capsule until it lands. You should survive that landing, and you can jump right back in for the next shot. At 15 seconds per launch, you should need to do 20 launches total, 21 to be safe.

8. Frostbite:Play 10 hours of Final StandWin 10 rounds on Operation WhiteoutWin 10 rounds on HammerheadWin 10 rounds on Hangar 21Win 10 rounds on Giants of KareliaYou can play this legit, but I got bored since I already did it on the 360. Easiest way to boost is Defuse, with at least 4 people. Have one team(we picked the attackers) and have them suicide immediately. After 3 rounds, it will count as a win and switch teams, and after 6 total rounds, another win. Then the map will rotate to the next and you can repeat! Each win takes about 2 minutes or less for the 3 rounds, so about 4-5 minutes for both teams to get a win.. repeat this 40 times for both teams to get 10 wins on each match... 160+ minutes for both teams to finish!

Please let me know if I got any of the Objective names incorrect or other comments!
